Synopsis

"...one of our best exponents of hardcore SF adventure" - Daily Mail

"To be considered alongside the leading triumvirate of British hard SF writers: Al Reynolds, Peter Hamilton, and Neal Asher." - The Guardian

GUNS, CARS & KAIJU: Teijouan was a prosperous island-nation until the Event. Now it's a post-apocalyptic wilderness rendered uninhabitable by a ‘derangement field’ that drives people crazy the closer they get to the Event’s epicentre.

Was it an alien visitation, a breakdown in the laws of physics, or an experiment gone wrong? No one sent to find out ever came back to tell.

Broken out of jail by an insane oligarch, Dutch McGuire—getaway driver, carjacker and all-round badass—is tasked with one mission: investigate the mystery at the heart of Teijouan in order to win her freedom. But as cover, she must once again take part in the Devil’s Run, a road race circumnavigating the island in which the participants are as likely to be murdered by each other as by the kaiju - huge, dinosaur-like beasts - that roam the wastelands.
